Rocket Retail Celebrates First 2 years!

October
2010 - The past two years have been an incredibly fun and busy time since the
formation of the Rocket Retail Advisory. A partnership of
several best-in-class retail real estate focused brokerages located across
Canada that came together in 2008 to offer a fresh alternative to the
retail tenant and retail landlord representation industry.

The idea was frankly simple, but powerful! Decentralize, and establish
the Rocket Retail Advisory network across Canada with the best “on the
ground” regional retail experts to help clients grow their business.
The idea of a national partnership of established industry professionals from
several well known regional firms, working together under a common banner and
philosophy, with a strong clients-first strategy, was an idea whose time had
come.

Rocket Retail Advisory was established in the Fall of 2008
and the easy to recall catchy brand name quickly caught on in Canadian retail
real estate circles. The Advisory network grew quickly with four original offices
in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax; Edmonton and Calgary were soon to
follow.

The team consists of 24 broker team members that use the Rocket Retail
Advisory name across Canada. All members are long established and
recognized industry professionals most with 20+ years of commercial real
estate experience.

Rocket Retail Advisory has an extensive and growing client mandate
list of top retailers, restaurateurs and service concepts. The Landlord client
list is expanding as building owners across Canada recognize and depend on the
Rocket brand. The recently announced exclusive affiliation with Retail
Brokers Network in the USA further expands the reach and influence on
the continental retail real estate landscape.
